THE Gazette explains that the official
stenographer's bill for S23 for reporting
testimony before the grand jury has not
been paid, that the 81 bill which was
paid Was for another case. aud that be
has made no reduction in any of his
bills; but it has failed 10 satisfactorily
explain and justify the apparently ex-
-travagant use that is being n,ade of the
stenogrspber, when the public pays the
bills.
The fact is the stenographer presented
a bill for $23. which the Commissioners
refused to allow until certitied.aDd that
he afterward returned With bill of 81.
His S23 bill was not returned. and the
presumption that it was for the same
service was not violent one.

THE proposition to endorse Senator
Sherman for President at the State con-
vention is one that should meet unani
nous assent among all Ohio Republi-
cans In 1880, and again in 1884, his
name was presented to our national
conventions, and both times there were
factions in the convention from Ohio
that supported Mr.. Blaine. That fact
practically destroyed ali hope of Sher>
mans choice by the convention. Mr..
Sherman has said that that blnnder shall
not be repeated. and that if Ohio Repub-
licans desire his nomination they should
say SO in their convention of this year.
Mr. Sherman's attitude regarding the
nomination is a manly and patriotic
Que. Nine-teDths of the Republicans Of
the State believe him to be the best
equipped man fol- the presidential Office in
the country; they know him to be a man
of the most exalted patriotism and cour'
age; they believe he has made less mis-
take, Of Judgment than any coutempora
ry public man; that be is d wise, serene,
and eminently safe man. These we're
their opinions in 1880 and In 1884. but
on both occasions the overwhelming
sentiment of the State was defeated in
conventions. If this is to be attempted
again next year, now is the time to let
it be known.
Republicans who still feel attach ed to
the fortunes of Mr.. Blaine should con-
slider the situation thoroughly before
they commit themselves irrevocably to
his denomination. The destinies of a
great party are immensely more impor-
tant than the advancement Of any man.
Has anything occurred that will render
Mr.. Blaine's election more probable? ?
The Democratic party is in possession
of the national government, and, not
withstanding the Presidents professions
of reform, all of its vast machinery will
be used to retain power. By the time
the election occurs all the offices will be
in their hands, and that fact, together
with the flag order and the sneers of
the President at the ex-soldiers, will
solidify him with the BGurbons. He
will have the warm support of Demo>
Gratis, aud against Mr.. Blaine, of so+
called reformer5 and purists, and, indi
cations are, would be as strong in
pivotal states as three years ago. Mr..
Sherman is strong all over the country,
and is especially strong in New York.
In any event, state pride and the
welfare of great party should prompt
Ohio Republicans to stand together
with unanimity and enthusiasm in sup
port of Mr.. Sherman. If we do this, and
are then defeated in the national con-
vention, we will feel that we have done
our duty as citizens, there can be no re-
ordinations, and we will all move for
word in support of the nominee with
courage aud enthusiasm.
This is the wise thing 10 do.

MAYOR DAVIES has discovered that
no assistance" was used in arresting
one of the parties to which we called
attention last week, and has returned
the party ST. so taxed for assistance.
This is the best illustration possible
of the point made by us last week. The
law contemplates that assistance shall
be taxed only when the arresting officer
finds that he can not handle the party,
and calls an assistant from the by
ISLANDERS, or when, from the known des-
perate character of the man to be ar
rested, he would be warranted in taking
an assistant with him; but the rule is to
tax every man arrested, no matter

The Gazette asserts that commi tees
appointed to investigate the reports of
County Commissioners have nothing
whatever to do with any expenditures
enumerated in such reports except those
made under the immediate direction of
the Commissioners. This is news. The
law requires the Commissioners to
make, annually, a detailed report i'll
writing of their financial transactions.
Ever since the passage of that law these
reports have embraced all manner of
expenditures from the county treasury.
and it has been supposed it was tie
province and the duty of the investiga-
ting committee to examine into and re-
port upon the lawfulness OF all the ex>
penditures.- That been the rule in
this county, and in all other counties.
The CHRONICLE has asserted that a
Democratic Auditor, in violation OF
law, and without authority of the Cons
missioners, drew warrants upon the
treasury. The Gazette can not success
fully coplrovert that proposition, but it
consoles itself with the opinion that no
county officer except the Commissioners
can be investigated. OF course they can,
and of course they are. If an Auditor,
or Clerk or Sheriff. or any other county
officer, has on file in the Auditors Office
bill and has been paid upon it sum
not authorized by law. or If any indi>
vidual unlawfully has been paid moneys
from the county treasury, it is not
only the province but it is the duty
of the committee to report against it..
If the committee is only to examine into
and report upon the few hundred doll
lars compensation paid the Commis>
sioners, and the few thousands expend'
ed under their direction for building
bridges, why does the Auditor embrace
the hundreds of thousands paid out for
other purposes in the report he prepares
for the Commissioners The PROPOSE
ton of the Gazette is absurd upon its
face, and was never before advanced by
anybody. The law means to check sll
manner of waste, from whatever source,
the purchase of assessors blanks, Of
caligraphs, and the fees and salaries of
county officers as well as the building
of bridges.

WHEN six thousand Grand Army men
in Ellsworth, Maine, halt their column 8
and refuse to march, because a portrait
of the President of the United States is
hung over the street in advance of them,
it is time for the friends and supporters
of that President to begin to think.
Breaking out in wrath and calling these
veterans "brawlers," pseudo PATRIOTS
bounty jumpers" "mercenary parti-
sans" and the like, does not meet the
case. 1t is cool thinking that is demand
ed So when only one out of the five
Grand Army Posts invited consents to
take part in the centennial exercises at
Clinton because the President of the
United States was to review the column,
it becomes an occasion for severe reflee.
tion instead of coarse abuse. The la
tent power in thinking bayonets" has
long been recognized. The veterans did
not loose that power when they turned
in their arms.-Cin. Com. Gazette.

CRITICISM of the Presidents action In
regard to the rebel flags has been added
to the list of criu.es for which decapit
tion is the punishment, il the servile
tool of the administration. Commission
er Black, of the pension bureau is to be
the judge. The first victim of too free
use of expressing his opinion is Special
Pension Examiner, Chas. II. 3ehle, on
duty in Cincinnati, an ex-union soldier
who was peremptorily removed upon
receipt of dispatch by Com. Black say
ing that he had severely criticised the
Presidents rebel flag order. The auto
cratic Commissioner refused Maj. Bshle
a hearing or to let him see the charges
or to give any information as to who
filed them. To the credit of Secretary
Lamar, be it said, when informed of the
conduct of the Commissioner, he sus-
pended the order of dismissal and or
der of dismissal and ordered an investi-
CATION and examination OF the case.

definitely in regard to the Gubernatorial
nomination so far as he is concerned.
He will not have it, even if rendered by
the Convention unanimously. The men
most conspicuous 10 forcing him to the
front were those who. in 1876, 1880 and
in 1884, betrayed him In the several Ma
tional Conventions. When these men
began their cry to him, few weeks ago,

Catarrh to Consumption

Caarrh in its destructive force stands next to and
undoubtedly leads to consumption It is, there
fore, singular that those afflicted with this fear
full disease should not make it the object Of their
lives to rid themselves of it. Deceptive remedies
concocted by ignorant pretenders to medical knov-
edge have weakened the confdence-of the great ma
jority of sufferers in all advertised remedies. They
become resigned to life of misery rather than tor
ture themselves with doubtful palliatives.
| But this will never do. Catarrh must be met at
every stage and combatted with all our might. In
many the disease has assumed dangerous SYM
toms The bones and cartilage of the nose, the or
gans of hearing of seeing and of tasting affected
as to be useless, the uvula elongated the throat
so inhamed and irritated as to produce constant
and distressing cough.

Catarrh from simple head cold to the most loath-

unreasonable and excessive, that fact
ought to be determined without the aid
